Post What tire pressure do you put in your non-OEM tires

I was always assuming you follow what it says on the inside of the door. But then I thought, hey these aren't the stock tires, so what's a guy to do?

I think mine came with 32lbs in each, so that was what I've kept them at.

Any ideas???

Cool

I maintain it at about 33psi all around - my tires are Michelin Pilot XGT-Z4 225-55ZR16....the load rating of these tires are considerably more than the stock TL tires.

Mine are the Pirelli P7000 and they have reinforced walls, so the maximum psi for these reinforced tires are at 51 psi, and I have mine inflated at 45 psi...

Exclamation

Michelin recommends 35~36 psi in their low-profile ultra-performance tires 18's. I'm running 35 psi in my 225/45zr18 Pilot Sports.
